Synopsis
by Perry Seibert

Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg directs this documentary that profiles Moms Mabley, an African-American stand-up comic who is credited with breaking new ground, but isn't well known to those without an interest in comedy history. The film utilizes a wealthy amount of archival footage, as well as interviews about her with such formidable figures as Bill Cosby, Joan Rivers, and Eddie Murphy.
